Although there has been considerable empirical attention to the problem of dangers posed by certain college party environments, little attention has been given to attendees' perceptions of possible danger cues in party environments, how such perceptions may be linked to concern for personal safety, or variations in perceptions of personal safety at party environments according to gender or party type (i.e., fraternity vs. nonfraternity). This study uses analyses of survey data to explore these issues. The findings suggest that (a) fraternity parties exhibit traits that may indicate greater danger; (b) some of these traits are linked to attendees' perceptions of personal safety; (c) men and women draw on different cues in making assessments of personal safety, but women feel no more threatened than men; and (d) the amount of alcohol consumed by other party attendees is not associated with perceptions of personal safety. Implications for theory and campus policy are discussed.
尽管已经有相当多的实证研究关注某些大学生派对环境所带来的危险问题，但很少有人关注参与者对派对环境中可能存在的危险信号的感知，以及这些感知如何与对个人安全的关注相关联，或者根据性别或派对类型（即兄弟会与非兄弟会）对派对环境中个人安全的感知存在差异。本研究使用调查数据的分析来探讨这些问题。研究结果表明：（a）兄弟会派对表现出可能表明更大危险的特征；（b）这些特征中的一些与参与者对个人安全的感知有关；（c）男性和女性在评估个人安全时使用不同的线索，但女性并不比男性感到更受威胁；（d）其他派对参与者的饮酒量与个人安全的感知无关。本研究讨论了对理论和校园政策的影响。
